Description of the problem | I was driving our 2004 audi a4 on a two lane road at approximately 30 mph. Moved into the left hand lane and accelerated to 35 mph to pass a car and when releasing my foot from the gas pedal, the gas pedal continued to depress all the way to the floor on its own and the car accelerated at a high rate of speed. I could not pry the gas pedal from the floor and could only slam on the breaks to slow the car down. The car accelerated for a total of 15-20 seconds. Nothing was physically causing the gas pedal to stick to the floor such as the mat or other obstruction. Was able to avoid a collision with another vehicle. Will no longer drive my car for fear it will happen again. I have two young kids that were in the car at the time. Have read about similar issues with other peoples audi? S on this site. Something needs to be done to fix this problem before it becomes fatal. |
